Face Down

...I love this song.
That's all there is to it. It's just a fantastic song... the lyrics are so powerful and speak of strength and courage in the most unbearable of situations.
I personally like a certain version of this song better... the version with the screaming. I like the screaming... if the vocalist is screaming and pulling it off well, he's obviously got a lot of passion behind what he's saying, and I like that. It really brings a song together and works beautifully with this song. I was dissapointed that the screamo version is so much shorter (2:50 compared to the radio edit which passes the three minute mark), which forced me to sacrifice quality for quanity; better version vs. longer version.
No matter which version you chose, this really is just an amazing song. So, as always, I'll post the music video and lyrics. The video I found on YouTube is yet another version of this song... I think this may be the original, actually. This version includes a screamo bridge, but lacks the screaming at the end of each chorus, like my version has. Still an awesome song and a great video.
Here it is; Face Down by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus.

Hey girl you know you drive me crazy
One walk puts the rhythm in my head
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down

Cover up with make up in the mirror
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
Every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wait around forever you will surely drown
I see what's going down

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
Say you're right again,
Heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Face down in the dirt, she said
This doesn't hurt, she said
I finally had enough

(Screaming)
One day
She will
Tell you
That she
Had enough
It's coming round again

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Do you feel like a man
When you push her around?
Do you feel better now
As she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend
One day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down
A new life she has found

Face down in the dirt, she said
This doesn't hurt, she said
I finally had enough
